Alderperson Shiller does not like the idea of spot zoning. He also stated that it should be a zoned as a business. Councilperson Shiller felt the whole triangle needed to be examined.

Marina Ad-Hoc Committee Report Alderperson Shiller and the Committee meet with Russ Forkert, President of Yacht Works, Inc. to view a presentation and discuss Salmon Harbor. The presentation was on the development of the Salmon Harbor property. The development would be in a staged fashion with storage for large vessels in new storage buildings. The current dry stack storage racks and building would be dismantled and moved to another site, not within the city. They would then build another building on the existing slab to accommodate larger vessels. The presentation included selling the in water portion to the city along with the Ship s store. Mayor Christman commended Mr. Forkert for his interest in Kewaunee and Salmon Harbor as a port for large vessels. There were items she felt needed to be revisited from past actions the Common Council had taken on Salmon Harbor. Specifically: The Common Council voted on 4/9/18, with recommendation from the Marina Ad-hoc Committee, to not parcel out Salmon Harbor. What happened between March and May that this is back on the table and it is parceled out? The City offered $1.6 million dollars for this property as a whole, but now we are to consider the marina only at $1.5 million? The proposal calls for the City to be used as a vehicle to write grants to widen the launch well because of the City s public, non-profit status. We have a staff that is extremely busy with other projects and grants at this time. There is concern with resources available to commit to this project. The mayor also questioned if a feasibility study has been done. The goal is to get development into the city and may help jump start future development in the city. At this point we can t say no and need to look into it. It was noted that the city employees don t have time to work on this as we have too many irons in the fire already. Page 6 of 7
